My preferred platform is LinkedIn and I send direct meeages as well as using Sales Navigator to send more focused messages to specific markets. I get a good amount of replies that I turn into meetings/appointments for the digital marketing company I do biz dev for. The key is crafting a messaged that gains attention with an appropriate subject line. The message should not be too long, but at the same time not too short. I put my benefits/bullet points in the first two (2) paragraphs and then add additional features and benefits that are unique and set our services/our firm apart. Follow up on the replies with request for appointment or provide additional information. Have had a good conversion rate.

Thanks for sharing Josepht, that is a good startegy.

I have found the same with messaging, and usually try to match the length of the message that someone sends ideally. If they are brief, they are likely expecting a brief response. If they are detailed, they are likely expecting a detailed response.

Hi Kyle,

I've been working on my YouTube channel for a few years now, today I have 480 videos on it, most of them are tutorials, on each video there's a link to my website.
On the last 28 days, it had over 12K views, so I guess I get a good number of visits to my website.
My strategy is to list all the materials needed on each tutorial on my website ;)

Lately, I started to work on Pinterest, creating as many pins I can create for each new blog post on my website.
I use chat GPT to help me to create the titles and a short description for each new pin.
I've been following the steps Jay shares on his training to create new pins for Pinterest.
So far, it's starting to work good, the number of views on this platform is working good, and I can see there's interest to visit my website.

I have also a Facebook page, but is not working as good as YouTube and Pinterest, it needs a lot of work, but I will keep working on it.

Well, for me the number is YouTube! That platform helped me so much in getting noticed online, conversions and most importantly, profit!

I am publishing a new video every week and my channel started growing like crazy lol. It's a great platform for making money online, especially when it comes to affiliate marketing. Your YT channel grows 10x faster than a website but I noticed that YT is great when you combine it with a website.

Anyone who is not on YT already should start it as soon as possible if you want to start skyrocketing in online business.

My Social Anxiety is starting to exit stage left, I just really need to work on my editing and not saying things like, "and that" a million times when talking.

Like and that is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much better than
"You know"

Hey Kyle. I have just received an email from Carson with the subject line: Important: Action Required – Your Website/Hub Will Be Removed Soon

My reply: Will this mean that my account will be deleted completely? I have been active on the platform, regularly participating in challenges, etc., and I am planning to join soon. I need to complete two important projects first. I don't have the time to commit at this very moment.

Your account will not be deleted and you can remain as a starter if you still wish it is only the website and hub as Carson's email stated.

As a starter member the free siterubix website you have is only valid for 6 months then it's gets removed to allow space for future websites.

This is the reason why you got that message.

This is more than ample time to decide if this is for you and if so you can upgrade if you wish.

However once that gets deleted you can always create a new siterubix website and hub.
Hope that helps

Andre

Hello Kyle

Thank you for sharing this great challenge.

My favourite social media platforms are Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest.

My best strategy for getting traffic is simply posting content consistently on my website and then sharing it to social media.

I combine this with sharing further insights related to my niche and business on social media through different posts.

The third and final part of this strategy is engaging with other people in my niche by liking, commenting and sharing their content which always gets me at least a few eyeballs on mine and then rinse and repeat this entire strategy.

I know this is probably not the best strategy but that is what I do when I need traffic fast and it has worked for me more than once in that past. It hasn't given me any big amounts of traffic but has gotten me a few visitors at least.

I have been pretty hands off lately due to health issues but I will be using this strategy again in the future when I get back into things.

Thank you again for sharing this great challenge. I hope you have a great day and I look forward to seeing what others come up with. All the best to your success.

Regards

Timothy

How I Tripled Sales in One Month

Before I start I should mention here that I use the paid versions of the AI tools I use.

My strategy :-
1. I used ChatGPT and a custom designed Bot to take a look at my niche and products and suggest a marketing schedule. The aim of the marketing campaign to increase traffic.

2. Started on Facebook and Instagram scheduling the content through Meta Business Suite, creating one months content in advance. This was a combination of posts, quotes, reels, infographics and podcasts. (3 posts per day) I used Manychat to auto manage responses on Instagram.

3. Next, I got ChatGPT to suggest new lead magnets and create the outlines. This was to increase the email list which is where most of my sales are coming from.

4. ChatGPT and the bots created outlines for videos. They were recorded through Zoom. I created reels using Opus Clip that are posted to my YouTube and TikTok channels.

Results to Date

1. Website traffic has increased with content regularly in top 5 spot on Google Search Console Results. The websites had dropped drastically following Google updates, down to 64 from the number 1 spot. Very happy to get back into the top 5 spot again.

2. YouTube - I had very very small following that has now doubled. Views on reels have gone from an average of 10 to average 550. I'm posting one full length video a week and 3 reels (Monday, Wednesday and Friday)

3. TikTok - this is a new account and views are averaging 730 using the same reels as YouTube and posting on the same days - Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

4. The best part, my email list has grown and sales have tripled.

Some of these numbers may seem low to members who are on these platforms but I am someone who normally sells direct from the stage and I am transitioning to just online. So the results are a good boost for me.


Remind me tomorrow to screenshot this system.

Want to Skyrocket Your Social Media Growth? 🚀 Here’s How I Did It:

Social media isn’t just a platform—it’s an opportunity. 💡 Over the years, I’ve cracked the code on platforms like Twitter/X and consistently ranked in the Top 10 for my country with a Klout score of 80. 🎯

My success didn’t come from luck; it came from a few simple, repeatable strategies that anyone can use to dominate social media. Here’s my blueprint for social media success:

🔥 1. Consistency is Key: I use tools like PostPlanner to schedule posts multiple times a day. Staying active builds trust and keeps your brand top-of-mind.

♻️ 2. Repost Viral Content: Sharing content that’s already gaining traction increases your visibility. Add your unique touch or insight for extra value.

🔍 3. Hashtags Are Your Friends: Use relevant hashtags so your posts are discoverable to a wider audience. More visibility = more engagement.

✨ 4. Emojis Matter: Spice up your content with emojis! They catch the eye and make your posts stand out in a crowded feed.

💬 5. Engage, Engage, Engage: This is the game-changer. Respond to every comment, join conversations, and participate in groups/chats. Engagement exploded my Twitter/X account, and it can do the same for yours.

Let’s build communities, not just followings! 🌍 Drop your questions or thoughts below👇

This an AI comment. Please provide some original comments here Ledrew, we would love to hear your insights.

Kyle this is my comments improved with Ai

I love IG & Facebook , but I also have Pintrest , Youtube, Tiktok, as well. I love that we can post on one & the other SM posts them as well when you sink them together.

I posted on another class about this challenge. However, I started my learning on how to be consistent with my habits by posting & creating new post, & monetizing my page.

Being ahead of the game is always great. So posting EVERYDAY & at least once a day plus a repost on your 24hr. pages are great ways to stay relevant & seen. Also going live on your SM will help with people by knowing your a real person behind the scenes.

Being consistent here on WA can get you to your goals faster. 1 day at a time with just a 1hr or 2 a day will bless your progress.

Great luck to all that are here & are trying to be better with each goal & challenge that confronts us.

Mindset is the key to social success across all channels.

You have to keep in mind that Social Media is Selfish. People are not there for your ads; they are there for two things, and the first is to GET THEIR OWN THOUGHTS OUT! The second is to satisfy the needs they have.

In no manner do they care that you need to pay the rent this month, so STOP SELLING and START SERVING!

Like your blog, you need to offer value first on your profile, page, and in your GROUPS. That is like honey to flies but you will also need to go to the poop and scoop it too.

The poop is where you take their posts and find what they need and give them answers on their page knowing they may never click through to your page and like it or join your group and ENGAGE BACK in any manner.

The fact is you are never looking for everyone you are looking for ACTION TAKERS so don't just scattergun your approach. Join targeted groups in your niche, and engage with the people commenting and posting there. Follow them to their pages and make sure you are doing the things like likes, comments, and shares you need them to do for you.

Make your page about your business but also your groups. While a page is a nice gateway to your blog groups build a community on social that is more likely to engage with your blog.

I have this method in play at Facebook, on my own Kiosk Social, and on LinkedIn I am starting to build up more.

Facebook: Loves and despises you in equal measure!

Even though I created business profiles for my brands and invested in ads, Facebook stayed indifferent to engagement and conversions. As I am not a fan of several social platforms, I had to change the strategy.

My personal Facebook profile has a large subscriber base that engages with my posts. With time, some subscribers became customers for my offline business.

Then, I considered a good idea to make my profile more complex with professional information.

I displayed all my professional branches, the services offered, and how and with what I can help people. I also included key links that required more engagement and conversion.

I continued to keep the essence and style of my posts that my subscribers were already used to. Nothing changed in this, but big Surprise.

With each post (I repeat in the same Non-business style), not only do I have more requests (I have 475 still waiting for approval), but the engagement with my brands has increased, the interest of people through private messages, and especially the long-awaited conversions for my online stores.

The more I gained the trust and attention of the subscribers on the personal profile, the easier it was for me to get them to agree to sign up and interact with the business profiles.

A simple switch in strategy brought me a significant achievement!
